In the Pink

Directed by Katharine Stocker

Taking place all within a bathroom, "In The Pink" tells the story of Marie, a young woman in her 20s, who discovers she might be infertile. What unfolds is an episodic narrative of friendship, youth, and maintaining normalcy — as Marie questions her sense of self as a woman.

Journey to Justice

Directed by Kelley Manley

After experiencing unthinkable sexual violence while trying to become the first woman to motorcycle offroad across the Americas, Vasilisa Komarova succeeds, against all odds, in getting justice. In doing so, she scores a victory for women worldwide, then she continues on her journey.

Marble Man

Directed by Pearl Amanda Dickson

Marble Man is the story of a teenager who falls in love with a statue. Her love and delusion grow as she believes she can turn this statue back into a human being. After figuring out that she isn't the Pygmalion of her story (able to turn a statue into a person by simply wishing), she takes a darker turn into the readings of myths of young Greek and Roman women like herself.

STORMCHASER

Directed by Gretl Claggett

All Bonnie Blue ever wanted was to chase tornadoes with her Dad. But dreams die with time. Now, she’s become a different kind of storm chaser — hawking storm-doors “door-to-door” for her charismatic boss, Flip Smyth: a cult-like father figure to Bonnie and his tribe of young sales bucks. In the guise of “tough love,” Flip relishes publicly shaming Bonnie and his token minority assistant, Don Stuckey, her sole ally.

After hours, Bonnie and Don find comfort in each other’s arms, inspiring Bonnie to rekindle her childhood dream and close her first deal. But when Flip pulls a bait-and-switch to avoid paying her commission, she finally challenges him, sending him into a rage as fierce as the funnel cloud that hovers on the horizon. As she realizes Flip’s doctrine of “Flip the Switch!” is just a way to exploit customers, a different kind of switch flips inside Bonnie — unleashing an inner and outer storm of violence.
